The highest number of civilian casualties in Ukraine during the Russian invasion that began on February 24, 2022, was recorded in March 2022, with 4,312 people killed and 3,018 injured. In January 2025, 139 civilian deaths were verified by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The law of 4 April 1873 “relating to the conservation of the graves of soldiers who died during the last war” (i.e. the French-German War of 1870) allows the French State to buy parcels of communal cemeteries or to expropriate private individuals in order to arrange graves for the remains of French and German soldiers. The National Archives kept records of the establishment of these military graves at the end of the 19th century. Classified by municipality, they contain the following parts: by-law instituting the military tomb(s), plan of the location of the burials, financial documents relating to the work surrounding the graves, exhumation and re-humation of bodies, correspondence. Some plans mention the number of soldiers buried, or even certain names or dress characteristics. The dataset made available lists all the records of municipalities kept in the National Archives. A number of these tombs and burials have now disappeared. Where possible, a link to the database Monuments to the Dead was created.
